To Tsyurupa.
[8 August 1918]*

We must now exert all our efforts to ensure that both decrees in practice (on harvest brigades and on collective trains)*1 actually merge and give us navys and brigades.

What is being done for this?

1) Instruction: in collective trains by so-much — there must be (1 per 5, for example) from professional unions

2) develop and strengthen § 7 of the decree on collective trains***

3) their relationship (in reality so that = aid) with requisition brigades...

4) Assign them all to a maximum of 2 districts from the best ones and clean them out completely.

Note II. Bryukhanov's note is a response to Lenin's proposals on strengthening the work of harvest brigades, set forth in a note by A. D. Tsyurupa (see the previous document).
